‘The Over River School district held
a hot meeting last evening in, the
‘ school house. at which about thirty

voters turned out. The principal light

of. the meeting was over collector and
this developed into a warm contest.
during which an entire ballot was
thrown out. because other than legal
voters dropped‘their tickets in the tel-
lers’ hats. it ended in the re-electlon
of Mr. Keene.
The meeting was called to order at
, 8 o'clock by Clark James Sheehan. who
announced that there had been some
misunderstanding as to the hour, it
having been announced as 8:30 at one
time. He called for the nomination
Leonard
was chosen. ‘ “i

The call was read and A. E. Austin
moved that a clerk be chosen. Jam’es
Sheehan and Samuel 1.. Weed were
nominated. but the latter declined and
a ballot was called for. The chair
then appointed Samuel D. Weed,.lanles
Forbush and H. M. Kent tellers, and
_ the minutes of the last meeting were

 

' l'flfld.

While the tellers were distributing
the ballots A. E. Austin stated that
the original call said 8:30. and as there
were several gentlemen outside who
were waiting for that time, it might
be «better to take a recess in order that
the meeting should certainly be legal.
He made that as a motion and it was
passed.

The crowd came in before 8:30, and
the meeting was called at that time.

Captain Joseph Crossman moved
that a chairman be appointed and nom-
inted Mr. Leonard, who was chosen.
Then Mr. Leonard had the call re-read
lfilld the election of a clerk, was called

balance, $63.28.

Mr. Austin said that more would be
neeedcd for repairs this year as the
building needed painting and the walks
reapiring. The whole debt .of the dis-
trict is $13,575, and the grand list is
about 82.000000. so that two mills
would raise $4.000 or 2%. 85.000.

The treasurer‘s report was read and
that of auditor Samuel Lyues.

Mr. Leonard said that the next busi-
ness was to elect a committeeman for
three years to succeed C. F. Tristram
and on motion of James Kcsna and
Thomas Hopper this was done by ac-
clamation. Mr. Trlslram being chosen

The next business was the election
of a collector and Thomas Hopper
nominated James Kcena. A. 0
Wheeler brought forth the name of
Frederick Ambler by request. He was
a man who had “an established place of
business, where it would be easy to
find him. The ballot was being col~
looted. when Fred Bryant made a mo-
tion that it be thrown out. as he had
seen some boys voting illegally. The
matter caused some feeling, and after
an‘ aye and no vote had been declared.
carried by the dyes it was doubled
and a risin vote was taken and the

all that any non-voters in the hell have

$15 for stationery, and hemovedhe be
allowed that sum this year.

$100 was not enough when a man had
to file a bond.

Mr; Austin said that the difference
was so small that it would not be any

South Norwalll Baptist Church
to Lose lls Pastor.

The Church Members Were Not Pre-
pared for the Letter Yesteday—
To Take Effect September
lath-aNot Accepted Yet.

 

The resignation of Rev. William H.
Hubbard. as pastor of the South Norv
walk Baptist Church, reached the

church officials last'night,‘ and noticed

considerable consternation, in their
m‘idl‘lt, being, it is said. entirely unex-
pected; A number of prominent mem-
bers were discussing the situation last
night, at the conclusion of the prayer
service, but declined to make any
statement for publication. The pastor
is attending the Young Men‘s Christ-
tlan Association convention in Boston.
and he could not be questioned in re-
gard to the matter. He is expected to
return to South Norwalk in a few days.
The letter was as follows:

SOUTH NORWA].K. June 13, 1901.
To the Members of the South Norwalk

Baptist Church:

Brethren and Sisters in Christ: l
hereby tender to you my resignation
as your pastor, same to take effect
three months from date. as required by
your constitution and by~laws.

l heartily thank all who have en:
couraged me in my efforts to do the
Lord‘s work among you. i freely for"
give all who have misunderstood and
hindered. l have tried to lead you
into richer experiences and larger use-
fulness as the children of God. i have
ever tried to do my duty and be true
to my Master and His word. Our lab-
ors together have not been in vain. To
Him be the praise and glory. For all
of you I pray the favor and mercy of
God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
May the richest blessings of the great
head of the Church rest upon you,

Yours in Christian bonds.
W. H. HUBBARD.
Your Pastor.

i take this opportunity to express my
appreciation of the oft expressed
friendship and sympathy of the? many
friends not members of this body. ill
a sense a minister of the Gospel is the
servant of the Lord to the public. in
South Norwalk this has been, in a
large mo sure, my prirll‘egc. The en-
couragem at and help i have received
fro mtlle newspapers and from those
not members of the Baptist Church. in
my endeavors to benefit the commum
ity. as well as to build up the church
of which i am pastor. are so great that
i would be lacking in gratitude did i
not express it. i thank you. My
prayer for South Norwaik is that she
may continue to grow in commercial
activity and industrial importance, as
wall as in moral and religious status.
Yours sincerely.

W. 1i. HUBBARD.

Mr. Wright’s Challenge Accepted by
Mr. Waldren for Next Thursday
Afternoon, For the Boat Two
Of Three Hosts.

”

All the horses which appeared on
the new boulevard speedway in East
Norwalk yesterday afternoon. wore
it could be
plainly seen that this change made a
vast difference with some of the horse
men getting their horses into brushes.
Horses which were never on the track
before, brushed there yesterday. and
some of the horses whichhave here.
tofore been driven up and down the
thoroughfare slowly were let out. and

they were a surprise to‘ any.

The majority of the real fast horses
were not on the track, and it was a
little disappointing to many who ex-
pected to see them. The reason for
the absence can be explained this
way. Several of the horses which
have appeared on the speedway and
have shown such good trotting and
pacing qualities. have been entered in
the races at Danbury for Saturday, and
it would have been utter folly to bring

 

 

them out and run the risk of getting

cut or hurt in some way. But the
large number of people which were
strong along the boulevard, were not
wholly disappointed. for there was
some good brushing and it was not all
without xecitement.

it was rather into before the brush-
ing began and it was thought at one
time that there would be very little
trotting, but the ball was started rol-
ling by James Golden with Fred Laud-
er. of Hello Bill Company fame. as
companion. driving his chestnut trotter
Ciudn down the area at a lively clip.
After the. first couple of turns. there
was two lively brushes between the lit-
tle mare. and Earle Wilkes, owned and
driven by Theodore W. Austin. of Dar-
icn. Honors were easy in this race.

Then for a time Mr. Lauder handled
the rains. and there was some good
brushing between Cinda and Henry W.
Mother’s pacer, which goes by the
name of Clip. This horse did well
yesterday, and had a lively brush with
Bonnie 6., belonging to Arthur Wal-
area.

it can he said that the latter animal
was the best on the speedway yester-
day: notwithstanding the fact that L.
M. Wright‘s great Thornton was there.
Mr. Wright was on the speedway ear
ly. but all the horse owners’seemed to
be afraid of his horse. They kept shy
of him, for the reason that he had
challenged any horse in the state for
the championship of the speedway.
This naturally created considerable in-
terest. and everyone was waiting to
see who would be the first to turn with
him at the monument for a brllsh. if
was getting late and no one seemed to
care to try the stretch with the animal
that Mr. Wright has so much pride in.

Finally Mr. Waldron put in an ap-
pearance with his Bonnie G.. and ev-
eryone was happy. All eyes were
turned in the direction of Great Thorn
ton and the gray pacer. Mr. Wright
was eager to get in a brush with this
animal. and the latter had hardly get
on the track before he followed her
and turned at the monument. A good
start was made. The horses went
down the arena at a fast rate. Bonnie
G. a little in the load. The latter kept
the lead and won the race.

Directly after this Mr. Wright drove
home and did not pllt in an appearance
again on the track. This heat was the
crest exciting thing on the track and
everybody was worked up to a high
pitch. it could be noticed ‘that if any-
one would accept the challenge of Mr.
Wright the interest in the race would
be general.

Mr. Waldron saw this too. rind after
the race was over. consented to accept
the challenge for next Thursday after-
noon at 4 o'clock. It will be for the
best two beats out of three. and there
will be no long waits between. There
will be starters and timekeepcrs. and
that there will be an interesting time.
goes without saying. Both men are
confident they'can win. and it makes
no difference which wins, there will be
a disappointment by-vthc owner. The
challenge would have been accepted
for tomorrow, if it had not been for
the races in Dnnbury.

David Lee, of Bowuyton, was present
with his pair of coils, a bay and black.
told he had an interesting brush with
laanc Boston's pair of bays. Other
horses which were noticed were Thom.
as Ward’s bay gelding. l. G. Hamilton’s
bay colt. Friskie, with M. Lynch. of
the Highland Brewing Company, ,of
Springfield. as his guest; M. 'I'. Hatch.
with his black trotter: C. E. Clapham’s
Robin. and many others.

GRADUATES M BET. '

 

Professor Sartalrl Entertain 3 His
Brown's College Classes.

in the assembly room of Brown‘s
Collegcllhcre gathered last evening
thirty-four bright young people, con-
stituting part of the graduating class
of 1901. Owing to their residing out
of town the remaining number of the
class were unable to be present. The
object of the meeting was to have the
members of both day and evening
classes come together and make their
plans for the class reception on the
27th instant in Music Hall. and be-
come acquainted with the program as
arranged for the commencement exer-
cises. which will be held on the 26th
instant. President Sartain of, the col-
lege. called the class to order about 8
o'clock. In his characteristic manner
he spoke of the pleasant recollections
associated with the class history. and
in concluding said that. he expected
each member to strive to make a mark
of excellence in their chosen profes-
sions. that opportunities were plentl‘
ful. for honorable. energetic - young
people. but that ability. while it is
much bought for, must be backed by
enelggy and morality in order to attain
success. After all arnangemcnts for
the reception and exercises were con
eluded the class were asked to visit
the Shorthand Department. where the
tables were arranged in one lo‘hg row
and laden with ice cream and cake.

This was a surprise to the class, and
us the atmosphere was close, was en-
joyed immensely.

The invitations will be Issued on
Monday and a copy of the program
will be publishedin the Sentinel.

A white line trolley car jumped the

last night, and started to take a trip
into William H. Earle's property, but
only went as far as the fence. The

Things leoly., ,

There was much excitement in Bed

ton street last night. and for a time it

looked as though some one would be
murdered. in fact the story reached
the center of the city of South Nbr-

walk that a murder had been commit R p

ted. and Officer Walter Hall, who was
standing on the Ely avenue bridge.
was notified. that two men were fight-
ing in Benton street and that one of
them would surely be murdered.

The oiilcer hurried to the scene of
the bloody ail'ray and found John
Kerekcs, a notorious individual. wall-
known to the police, and Andrew Her-
man. who both reside in Benton street.
in a hand to hand light. They welt
using all kinds of weapons and both
were covered with blood. The excite-
ment was intense, and when the oilicer

arrived there were fully 200 people on.

the scene. No one lntersfered with
th fighting men.

It seems that Kerekes has been
drinking heavily lately, and going,
home last night shortly before 10
o'clock, insulted ,Mrs. Horihan. his
neighbor. Mr. Herman, who has also
been drinking quite hard. and was
slightly intoxicated last night, resent-
ed the insult. There was trouble im-
mediately and both man got into the
middle of the atreet.‘ The blood and
dust flew for about fifteen minutes.
when some one ran after the officer.

Kerckes, who has been arrested
many times for drunkennes and other
offences, recognized the officer before
the latter got up to him. He broke
away from Herman and ran to the
house. Officer Hall went in pursuit.
Kerekes dashed in the front door and
across the kitchen floor to the cellar
door. The officer, was close behind
him and just as the fugitive was about
to descend the stairs. a firm grip was
placed on his arm. There was another
desperate struggle, but this time it
was between an officer of the law and
a fugitive from justice. After a des-
perate fight, in which Officer Hall did
not use his club once. he finally, man-
aged to get the handcuffs on and march
his prisoner to the lockup. ‘

He then returned to Boston street
and got Herman, who was by that time
willing to go with the oiiicer without
any resistance. This morning in the
South Norwalk side of the town court.
Kerekes presented anything but a‘ nice
appearance. His face was terribly
pummeiled and one eye was closed.
Herman was released on a bond last
night by some friends. and did not put
in an appearance. The case was con-
tinued until 3 o'clock this afternoon.
when Herman and some witnesses will
be in court. it promises to be an in-
teresting session,

Kcrkes has been arrested several
times and each time. his wife has been
eager for his release. This time she
wants him to go to jail. She says that
he is no good to her and that she can
get along better without him. It is
thought that he will receive a jail sen-
tence. Long after the fight, the people
remained out in Benton street and
talked over the affair.
